Excuse my limited knowledge, but is there any good reason why various
people with permanent connections (such as myself) cannot act as
secondaries for each other by agreement? Before shifting to Optus, Telstra
supplied my secondary DNS, but now I am in the precarious position of

The other reason why I don't think slash-like sites are useful for us is
the silly web based discussion forums. No siree, we already have a much
better discussion forum right

Any chance we can move SLUG meetings to the Northern Beaches? No
train lines = no problems! ;) and the cab fare will be cheaper for

Perhaps we can hold meetings on the Manly ferry (2 return trips
